Athletic Madrid advanced to the finals of the Champions League after defeating Bayern Munich with an aggregate scoreboard of 2-2 and the Spanish club won through away goals.

This was a fairly surprising result as Bayern Munich were the favorites of coming out on top, especially taking into consideration the fact that the 2nd leg was played at the Allianz Arena in the home turf of Bayern Munich but Athletic Madrid still managed to book their spot in the finals of the Champions League.


Fernando Torres is immensely happy about forming part of Athletic Madrid and having the chance to win the European title with the club that he kicked off his playing career. It was with Athletic Madrid that Torres spent developed during his initial years as a youngster.

The Spanish striker made his way through the youth academy system before eventually getting promoted to the first team. Athletic Madrid is probably the most important club that Fernando Torres has performed in throughout his entire career as this is the club where Torres spent the majority of his career and scored most goals.

When Fernando Torres was struggling to score goals and he was going through a goal-drought, clubs did not want to take a risk and sign him. Even after his time with Ac.Milan was over and Torres was a free agent, one of the few clubs that opted to sign him even when his career had reached a new low was Athletic Madrid and making a return to his childhood has sparked his career back to life.

Torres managed to lift the Champions League title back when he was performing for Chelsea a few years ago and he wants to do the same thing but with Athletic Madrid.

In the history of the Spanish club, they have never managed to win the European competition and Fernando Torres wants to create history with Athletic Madrid by winning the Champions League.

“We want to win. We have a chance to write the history that nobody at Athletic has. It doesn’t matter who the opponent in the final is. We are ready to fight with everyone.” Fernando Torres said as the Spanish attacker stated that he wants to create history with Athletic Madrid.
